ONLINE POLL

Are you in favor of the government’s plan to remove public utility vehicles, especially jeepneys that are more than 15 years old off the roads, to be replaced with new vehicles such as electronic jeeps and those with combustible engines?

Yes, there is a need to phase out old jeepneys to improve passenger safety and to promote the use of environment-friendly vehicles in the country.

No, although the jeepneys are old, they remain roadworthy. It will also affect small operators and drivers nationwide who cannot afford to buy new and electronic jeepneys despite the government’s financial assistance program to transport corporations and cooperatives. The plan could expose consumers to higher fares.
